Individual ECUs are mounted on a vehicle and execute processing using power supplied from one of a main power storage device and a sub power storage device. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processing unit of each individual ECU determines whether the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted. When it is determined that the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted, the processing unit of each individual ECU executes a process that corresponds to a degree of deterioration of the sub power storage device out of a plurality of processes.

A method for detecting airbag deployment includes operating a plurality of sensors of the mobile device disposed in a vehicle during a drive to obtain a plurality of measurement signals, determining a change in at least one measurement signal of the plurality of measurement signals and that the change exceeds a first threshold. In response to determining that the change exceeds the first threshold, obtaining a pressure measurement signal from a pressure sensor of the plurality of sensors, determining a derivative of the pressure measurement signal, and determining that the derivative of the pressure measurement signal exceeds a second threshold. In response to determining that the derivative of the pressure measurement signal exceeds the second threshold, detecting a deployment of a vehicle airbag based on the change in the at least one measurement signal exceeding the first threshold and the derivative of the pressure measurement signal exceeding the second threshold.

Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for hazard and risk analysis systems that use operational information about an autonomous vehicle in order to continuously determine a hazard and risk analysis of a vehicle and its compliance with safety standards. The hazard and risk analysis system estimates a hazard probability for a vehicle based on operational information about the vehicle, wherein the hazard probability represents a likelihood that the vehicle will experience a driving event over a predefined interval. The hazard and risk analysis also adjusts a driving parameter of the vehicle based on the hazard probability if the hazard probability deviates from a predefined hazard safety criterion.

A vehicle kill switch assembly includes a switch that is coupled to a vehicle. The switch is positioned beneath a driver's seat of the vehicle and the switch is electrically coupled to the ignition system of the vehicle. The ignition system is turned off when the switch is disengaged. A biasing unit is coupled to the vehicle and the driver's seat is coupled to the biasing unit. The biasing unit biases the driver's seat upwardly in the vehicle and the biasing unit is compressed when the driver sits in the driver's seat. The switch is engaged when the biasing unit is compressed to facilitate the vehicle to be driven. Conversely, the switch is disengaged when the biasing unit biases the driver's seat upwardly to inhibit the vehicle from being driven.
